Upon entering the manor, Lin Li couldn't help but marvel at Mr. Huang's wealth.
The estate is shaded by green trees, blooming with flowers, and has a large swimming pool.
The room is luxuriously decorated yet tasteful, reflecting the owner's meticulous attention to detail.
After a short rest, Lin Li began to take Mr. Huang's pulse.
She carefully inquired about Mr. Huang's symptoms and lifestyle habits, and observed his tongue coating and eyes.
Finally, she confirmed her earlier assessment: "Mr. Huang, this is caused by damp heat entering your body, coupled with mental stress. I'll give you acupuncture and prescribe a medicine. Take it for a few days and see how it goes."
Mr. Huang nodded quickly: "Thank you, Dr. Lin. As long as you can cure my illness, I don't care how much it costs."
Lin Li smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, don't worry. Just take your medicine on time, get some rest, and don't overwork yourself."
After saying that, he took out his acupuncture box and took out his acupuncture needles.
He quickly inserted the needle into Mr. Huang's body and then used his internal energy to activate it.
A gentle flick.
Instantly, the silver needles rang out in unison.
This amazed Mr. Huang and his private doctors.
He truly deserves to be called a miracle doctor.
With such amazing acupuncture skills, what difficult disease couldn't be cured?
Mr. Huang also felt that as the needle rang, he immediately felt much more relaxed.
This time, he owes Mr. Yu a huge favor.
If he hadn't invited Doctor Lin, how could he have recovered from all his ailments so soon?
Lin Li had no idea what Mr. Huang was thinking.
After she used her internal energy to activate it three more times, cold sweat began to break out.
I've been slacking off lately.
Lin Li pursed her lips and quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
Only then did they slowly remove the silver needles.
"Alright, continue with acupuncture for five more days, and then you'll only need to take medication."
Lin Li took the paper from the maid and wrote down the prescription.
He paused slightly as he took it.
Turning my head, I looked at Mr. Huang lying on the treatment bed.
"There are a few medicinal herbs in here that I brought over from the port city. Do you need them...?"
Lin Li was interrupted by Mr. Huang before she could finish speaking.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Lin. I have more faith in the medicine you brought."
Lin Li nodded after hearing this.
I followed the maid to Mr. Huang's private pharmacy.
Have the servant lift up the suitcase you brought with you.
When they weren't looking, they put the medicinal herbs from the space inside.
The medicinal herbs in the space are not only fresh, but also have stronger medicinal effects.
Using the medicinal herbs in the space, Mr. Huang can recover more quickly.
For the next few days, Lin Li stayed at Mr. Huang's manor.
She takes Mr. Huang's pulse, performs acupuncture, adjusts his prescriptions, and teaches him some health preservation methods every day.
Mr. Huang's health gradually improved, and his spirits were much better than before.
In his spare time, Mr. Huang took Lin Li to see the sights of Penang and sample the local cuisine.
Lin Li gradually grew to like this place, feeling that the people here were just as warm and hospitable as the people in the port city.
A week later, Mr. Huang's illness had improved significantly.
He held Lin Li's hand and said gratefully, "Dr. Lin, you are truly my savior. If you ever need any help in the future, just ask, and I, Huang, will do my best to help."
Lin Li smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, you're too kind. I'm very happy to be able to cure your illness."
On the day he left Penang, Mr. Huang personally saw Lin Li off at the airport.
He not only gave Lin Li a huge sum of money for her medical treatment, but also prepared a lot of local specialties for her to take back to her family.
Lin Li couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept it.
Sitting on the plane, Lin Li looked at the sky outside the window and felt relaxed.
Now she has money again to continue her career.
When the flight from Penang landed at Kai Tak Airport, it was drizzling in the city.
Looking down through the porthole, Lin Li saw the ferries in Victoria Harbour sluggish like beetles in the rain and fog, with the steel frame of the dock cranes appearing and disappearing under the gray clouds.
She carried the two sandalwood boxes that Mr. Huang had given her as she walked down the suspended stairs. She immediately spotted Ah Biao in the crowd holding a sign with the character "Lin" on it, with two small figures following behind him.
It was Lin Hu and Lin Yao, who were standing on tiptoe, peering towards the exit.
"grandmother!"
Lin Yaoxian saw her and grabbed Lin Laosan's arm, jumping up and down.
Lin Laosan put down his newspaper and came over, exclaiming "Ouch!" as he took the box from her.
"What's in here? It's as heavy as a stone."
"A 'thank you gift' from Mr. Huang."
Lin Li smiled and brushed the rain off his suit, her gaze sweeping over the dark circles under his eyes.
"You must be very busy with hotel matters."
"Can you not be busy?"
Lin Laosan helped her wrap the cashmere shawl tighter. "Mr. Yu keeps urging me to see the interior design renderings, and the construction team is rushing to meet the deadline, saying they want to open for trial operation before Christmas."
He stepped aside, revealing Lin Hu bouncing around behind him. "This kid asks every day, 'When is Grandma bringing back Bak Kut Teh?'"
Lin Hu pounced on her and hugged her waist, rubbing his nose against the hem of her clothes: "Grandma, is the satay in Penang more fragrant than that in Hong Kong? Teacher Zhou said that the chilies in Southeast Asia are very spicy, did you cry from the spiciness?"
"Your grandma would cry from spiciness?"
Lin Li pinched his soft cheeks and found it amusing.
"Go, help Grandma carry the suitcase to the car. There are dried mangoes inside for you."
As the car drove through Kowloon Tong, the rain gradually stopped.
Lin Li watched as water flowed down the tin roofs of the arcades along the street, forming streams on the bluestone pavement. Suddenly, she felt that the dampness of the port city was more welcoming than that of Penang.
Lin Laosan was talking about the interesting things that had happened since she left.
"The day after you left, Mr. Yu brought some medicinal herbs from Southeast Asia, saying that Ah Zhen should make soup for the children; Teacher Zhou praised Yao Yao for his rapid improvement in Cantonese, except that Hu Zi always says 'thank you' as 'write thanks'..."
"Third Uncle is talking nonsense!"
Lin Hu shouted from the back seat, "I even got a little red flower from the teacher yesterday!"
When Lin Li turned around, Lin Yao was looking at a local Cantonese workbook with "A-level" written in red on the cover.
A warmth filled her heart. She reached out and ruffled her two grandsons' hair, her fingertips touching the cool raindrops on Lin Hu's hair.
The villa gleamed from the rain, and the purple blossoms of the phoenix tree fell onto the bluestone slabs.
Uncle Fu and Ah Zhen were already waiting at the door. When they took the box, Uncle Fu paused for a moment: "What's inside..."
"Put it in my bedroom first."
Lin Li interrupted him, and as she took off her shoes, she noticed a bunch of white ginger flowers on the entryway cabinet, with water droplets still clinging to the petals. "Did Ah Zhen buy this?"
"Yaoyao asked me to buy it, saying that Grandma likes this flavor."
Uncle Fu smiled and took her handbag. "Lunch is ready, all your favorite dishes—Ah Zhen specially made a night-blooming cereus soup to help remove dampness and heat."
The mahogany table in the restaurant was already laden with dishes.
